I would like to become a WWOOF Spain Host and confirm the following:
 
1) I / we confirm that I / we support and practice the aims of WWOOF as follows:

• To give WWOOFers/Volunteers firsthand experience of organic or other ecologically-sound growing methods and sustainable living whether it be on a farm, homestead, rural, residential or urban property.

• There is no hierarchy between host and volunteer, no productivity expectations, no financial transactions, and as such WWOOFing encourages a partnership based on mutual trust and respect.

• WWOOFers can provide help with many different activities such as gardening and making compost, animal care, chopping wood, farm infrastructure maintenance and repair, helping with eco-construction projects, etc.

•  WWOOFer's help with tasks must provide opportunities for education in regards to organic agriculture, sustainable living and related pursuits, and this be the main focus and reason for inviting participants from the program. In the case of small family run operations (i.e.. Home farms & gardens, B&Bs, wood farming and wood lots, etc.), there may be occasions where the WWOOFER will be required to assist the family with other tasks in order to ensure there is adequate time to work together for the purpose of the education in the areas outlined above but these tasks must not become the primary focus.

• In their time spent with you as a family WWOOFers are expected to offer their assistance with daily living as any other family member.

• To help the organic movement which is labour intensive and does not rely on artificial fertilizers, herbicides or pesticides. I / we use no chemicals.

• To give people a chance to meet, talk, learn and exchange views with others in the organic movement.

• To provide WWOOFers/Volunteers with an opportunity to learn about life in Spain by living and working together.

 2) I / we agree to provide our WWOOFers with decent clean accommodation, and with healthy (organic, if possible) meals and snacks and an integrated family experience.

3) I / we agree to offer opportunities for learning expecting approximately 4-6 hours of help per day from our WWOOFers, 5 - 5 1/2 days per week (20-33 hours per week is standard).

4) I / we will be clear as to WWOOFer's time-off days. If more helping time is needed, then I / we will communicate this request in timely fashion and with appropriate explanations.
 
5) I / we will respect the volunteers' privacy, gender, and personal and human rights and freedoms at all times.

 6) I / we acknowledge that if I / we wish to report about a Host or WWOOFer for actions I / we deem as inappropriate or of a criminal nature, such concerns must be made through our “Problems or Concerns to tell the Administrator” links found throughout the WWOOF Spain website and not included in a comment on a member’s profile or in the Forum. Please see the FAQs for full disclosure of WWOOF Spain’s complaint policy and procedures.

 7) I / we acknowledge that it is recommended that hosts hold insurance to cover any WWOOFer related incident, and to verify with visiting WWOOFers that they have travel insurance to cover illness, injury or liability.

 8) I / we acknowledge that WWOOF Spain will edit member profiles as is necessary. As long as my / our entry gives clear and accurate information I / we should have no problems.

 9) I / we agree to indemnify and hold harmless WWOOF Spain and its officers and employees from any claim or demand, including reasonable lawyers' fees, made by any third party arising out of or related to your violation of these Terms and Conditions of use, or your violation of any law, regulation or third-party right. WWOOF Spain is a network which allows members to contact each other. WWOOF Spain is not responsible for any actions of either WWOOFers or Hosts.

 10) I / we understand that the responsibility of WWOOF is limited to providing a means of contact between Hosts and WWOOFers, and that the arrangements I / we make with volunteers are entirely my / our own responsibility.

11) I / we acknowledge that WWOOF Spain reserves the right at their discretion and with or without a refund, with or without cause (such cause may include my / our breach of the WWOOF Spain Terms and Conditions), with or without prior notice: (1) Cancel or suspend my / our access to their services, (2) Block or remove my / our membership and profile and all related information and files.

 12) I / we acknowledge that I / we have read and understood these Terms & Conditions of membership and that this constitutes an agreement having the same force and effect as a signed agreement.

I would like to be a WWOOFer in Spain and confirm the following:

 1.  I / we acknowledge that I / we meet the age requirements to WWOOF in Spain.  To WWOOF in Spain you must be 16 years or older.  The Age of Majority is 19 in most provinces and territories.  A person younger than the age of majority is considered a "minor child."  If you are under 19 then you must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian in which case you MUST carry a signed copy of a 'Parental Consent form' as well as forward a copy to the Coordinator.  WWOOF Spain is firm on this policy.  

 2.  I / we acknowledge the following risk of membership: Some visitors to Spain may require a "Letter of Invitation". WWOOFers (volunteers) with this requirement would have to ask a prospective WWOOF Host(s) if they are willing to provide this letter on their behalf. WWOOF Hosts are not obligated to do so, and must make their decision based on the interview they conduct with you, the inquiring volunteer. And you would have to risk paying for a membership in order to contact Hosts and there is no guarantee. Your best bet is to secure your Visa before buying a membership.

3.  I / we agree to be responsible for my / our own travel expenses, and if applicable, obtaining the necessary VISA to visit Spain. With a visitor’s Visa a foreign national can volunteer a maximum of 4 weeks with each Host.  A foreign national must obtain a Work Visa if they wish to stay longer than 4 weeks with one particular Host. WWOOF Spain or any of its Hosts cannot assist with Visa applications or contribute towards travel expenses.
 
4.  I / we agree to be responsible for my / our own safety and prepare accordingly.

5.  I / we agree to obtain the necessary Health, Accident, and Liability Insurance to cover myself while travelling.

6.  I / we agree that I / we will not transfer or provide use of my / our WWOOFer account to another person(s) for any purpose, nor contact members on behalf of anyone else. WWOOF Spain reserves the right to close accounts of members that have breached this trust. Members should notify WWOOF Spain of account theft or of unauthorized use.

7.  I / we agree that I / we will come and help the hosts, when I / we said I / we would come and NOT back out of that commitment. It is very unfair to Hosts, as well as requiring their extra time and money, to prepare for my / our arrival and then I / we fail to show up when expected. Also, I / we would likely be preventing another WWOOFer this opportunity as this Host has reserved specific dates especially for me / us. If I / we fail to notify a Host on more than one occasion WWOOF Spain may suspend or cancel my /our membership.

8.  I / we AGREE TO NOTIFY HOSTS WELL IN ADVANCE IF DUE TO UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES  I / we CANNOT HONOUR MY / OUR INITIAL COMMITMENT IN HELPING THEM.

9.  I / we agree to produce the WWOOF-Spain membership number and suitable identification to my / our WWOOF host for membership verification upon contacting them and subsequently upon my arrival.

10.  I / we agree to be respectful to my / our host, the host family and their property.

11.  I / we understand that there is no hierarchy between host and volunteer, no productivity expectations, no financial transactions, and as such WWOOFing encourages a partnership based on mutual trust and respect. I / we agree to offer, to the best of my / our ability my / our participation in daily activities in order to take advantage of learning opportunities involving organic farming/gardening and sustainable living.

12.  I / we understand that if I / we wish to report about a Host or WWOOFer for actions I / we deem as inappropriate or of a criminal nature, such concerns must be made through our “Problems or Concerns to tell the Coordinator” links found on your Dashboard and not included in a comment on a member’s profile or in the Forum.  Please see the FAQs for full disclosure of WWOOF Spain’s complaint policy and procedures.

13.  I / we acknowledge that WWOOF Spain reserves the right to edit or delete profile content if it is felt content is inappropriate.

14.  I / we agree to indemnify and hold harmless WWOOF Spain and its officers and employees from any claim or demand, including reasonable lawyers' fees, made by any third party arising out of or related to your violation of these Terms and Conditions of use, or your violation of any law, regulation or third-party right.  WWOOF Spain is a network which allows members to contact each other.  WWOOF Spain is not responsible for any actions of either WWOOFers or Hosts.

15.  I / we understand that the responsibility of WWOOF is limited to providing a means of contact between Hosts and WWOOFers (volunteers), and that the arrangements I / we make with Hosts are entirely my / our own responsibility.

16.   I / we acknowledge that WWOOF Spain reserves the right at their discretion and with or without a refund, with or without cause (such cause may include my / our breach of the WWOOF Spain Terms and Conditions), with or without prior notice: (1) Cancel or suspend my / our access to their services, (2) Block or remove my / our membership and profile and all related information and files.

 17.   I / we acknowledge that I / we have read and understood these Terms & Conditions of membership and that this constitutes an agreement having the same force and effect as a signed agreement.

 WWOOF Spain wishes to further request that you occasionally provide a testimonial of your WWOOF experience, including pictures would be awesome, (& any good vibes).  We love to hear and share your stories!  Please forward them to us via the Contact Us page.
